You’ve paid for the right to watch the movie. The movie industry will argue that you’ve just paid for the right to access that physical copy and I’m sure from a legal point of view they’re right as they’ve lobbied to increase control out of greed and the hope of being able to get more money out of you for the same effort.
Morally you paid to access the content, you paid to compensate the creators for their work. Now you’re entitled to view what you’ve paid for.
I don’t see this ever being a hard hitter in the gaming space.
The thing that intrigues me about the vision pro is the movie experience. If it can end up being an imax level experience at home then there’s value there. Just not at the current price…
Yeh I’m similar. I’ve found that yeh it looks a bit better but at 10x the storage it starts being really cost prohibitive for a small benefit.
On a side note, I’ve got the server up and running and it crushes 1080p. No performance issues at all.
Absolutely insane from a 7.5w TDP cpu. Seven POINT five watt.
Ooooh.
I’ve just spent the day installing Synology DSM on a passively cooled micro pc with a Pentium N3510 and 4gb of ram.
I haven’t had a chance to test performance yet. Certainly not 4K capable but that’s okay. If it can handle 1080p I’ll mark it a win.
Sonarr and Radarr in dockers on DSM.
12tb USB attached HDD.
I’m not sure if this will be a permanent setup. Will depend what the 1080p performance is like.
But I had the box sitting in the cupboard and I’m really keen to cut ties with streaming services
Hahaha I accidentally smeared it with the iOS highlighter.
They’re every inconvenience rolled in to one. A pain to get in. A pain to park. Use heaps of fuel. Don’t fit in garages, and to top it off are expensive AF. I’m confident in saying unless you tow like, horse floats on the regular, if you own one you’re a fucking idiot.
Go to yellow alert
From the generation that brought you “make sure you eat breakfast, it’s the most important meal of the day”
Comes the long awaited sequel: “if you’re poor, just don’t eat”
In the medium term I’m confident costs could be met using patreon or something similar for large instances.
Plenty of people willingly paid for reddit awards etc. I think most of us feel more loyalty to Lemmy than reddit in the light of recent events.
Honestly I always struggle to care. Clearly an underworld hit and as long as they stick to their code of only hurting each other, I won’t shed a tear over it.
The only people I ever feel bad for are the kids who have deadbeat dads caught up in this shit.
I thought about this recently. I live in Australia. For the first 30 years of my life I didn’t look after my teeth properly.
Now I’ve got a really good oral hygiene routine with flossing, interdental brushes and a good quality mouthwash. I went through my routine one night last week and thought about how much better my gums were and how few problems I had with my oral health. I used to have frequent ulcers and permanent gingivitis.
As great as I felt knowing I’ve gotten on top of it, I feel terrible. I’m fortunate in that I can afford to spend 20 dollars a month on interdental brushes. Another 5 on floss. Another 10 on mouthwash. The $200 electric toothbrush that makes it easy to get a really solid clean.
Like what the fk man? Taking care of my teeth is not only going to have massive positive health impacts on me, but there would be huge cost savings for the government who only seem to intervene and pay up when it’s too late and you need hospital care for whatever eventuality comes.
A significant portion of the country skip meals in order to pay rent. They certainly don’t have that kind of money to spend to maintain there teeth, as well as any kids in the house.
Oral hygiene products should really be subsidised for low income families.
